Argus memory issues

[Carter Bullard]

Excellent, well thats good news.  I have a little work to do this weekend,
and then we should have a very efficient argus-3.0.0.  Probably worth the
wait, before release, but we need to be zipping this thing up really 
soon.   I'll
try to back out of argus-clients-3.0.0.rc.48 to rc.47, and hopefully 
that will
get us to a working set.

Any sense of cpu load and memory use comparisons with argus-2.x?

What we don't have in the current small memory implementation:
   1.  argus output filtering (that comes next)
   2.  jitter implementaion (it seems particularly memory hungry)
   3.  efficient multiple client access

I will need to migrate the new memory model to radium() as it needs to do
this as well, and so there is a little work to do still.

Glad to hear that things are better,

Carter
